Answer and Explanation:
Analyze. In Act II, Scene 2, Juliet says, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose/ By any other name would smell as sweet" (lines 43-44). What does she mean?
In Act II of "Romeo and Juliet", Juliet is questioning the value of a name. In her opinion, a name does not carry meaning in itself. As she explains, a rose would still be a rose, even if it had a different name. It wouldn't be less beautiful or fragrant if it had its name changed.
How does this comparison relate to one of the conflicts in her life?
This relates to a conflict in her life because of Romeo's and her own last names. She is a Capulet and he is a Montague, and the two families are enemies. Their names, therefore, mean a relationship between the two of them is forbidden. But Juliet is in love, which makes her question the feud and how important their family names should be in determining their fate.
